Run a 10k in under one hour

If you are a beginner runner, or running your first 10k, and want to add a time goal to your run then this is the challenge for you. Aim to run a 10k in under 60 minutes in order to complete this challenge. Try it at a race, on the treadmill, or even when training on the streets.

“yeah!!! After 4 months of training (from being a couch potato), run my first 10 km ever at the Montreal Marathon today and did it in 56:36. Running in a race like that is so much fun. Challenge completed .”

" Funny thing is that I didn't have specific goal time in mind when I went out, I just wanted to have a good solid run :) No run I've done recently even felt half as good as this one!" Yeah it's strange how that happens from time to time - I had a similar experience a few months back in a 25 Km race - at the half marathon mark I had busted my half mara. PB by 6 minutes - Great running from the Gal from Kal today :0)

Beth H I have gotten a little behind on finishing & updating my challenges. Last year I had a crazy race season completing 6 5k, 3 10ks & 2 1/2 marathons.
My times for my 10ks were 50:00 flat, then 48:50, then 47:58!!

Thank you, that race is coming up again on Tuesday & every year the medal changes to represent a different Historical Canadian & this year I am super pumped & proud that this years finsher's medal will be a Terry Fox Medal!!
